High pass filter — 27 discussions

A few days ago, I learned to make an AC to DC converter. One question is troubling my mind. How does a High Pass Filter Capacitor work? Going through some websites I got a sketchy idea. As the current after passing through the bridge rectifier comes to capacitor, the capacitor starts charging...

Hello, I am simulating the input impedance of a high-pass filter with the output voltage of the filter input to the non-inverting pin of an op amp. I'm confused as to why the input impedance can possibly dip below the resistance of the high-pass filter resistor. Please see the following circuit...

HI, i have a first order controller (ts/ks+k) which contain some oscillations and its settling time is very huge, i wanted the controller to have settling time of 10seconds and remove the oscillations. in order to remove the noise and get the expected settling time i added a filter ( s/cs+1)...

Homework Statement Write a report (of approximately 750 words) that discusses and compares the design of each filter in terms of their performance, circuit topology, application and any other relevant characteristics. You may for example attempt to relate the choice of component values to the...

Hi, as I am in need of Low- and Highpass filters i would like to simulate my circuit using LT-Spice. I hope that i can get optimal caps and coils values like that. So i simply started to build my pi-network lowpass filter in LT-Spice and got the simulation results (please check the picture in...

Good day all, I have a question: I built a passive high pass filter in an experiment using a hand wound inductor (toriod) and a resistor. The filter worked great as a high pass at frequencys ranging from 100 Hz - 1,000,000 Hz (rolling off around 10,000 Hz). After creating a bode plot, I...

Hello. Please see the attached image first. 1. The textbook seems say resistor to + input in this image is necessary to provide a return path to ground. I completely don't understand even what it mean. Could you help me to clarify this? 2. Instead of understanding directly what the book said...

Homework Statement Converting a 50kHz high pass filter to a 5.3kHz high pass filter. The circuit: Homework Equations Working out the Capacitance, C, and Resistance, R, of the circuit in order to work out the cut-off frequency, Cf, using: Cf = 1/(2*pi*R*C)[/B] The Attempt at a Solution...

Hey guys, I am learning about the filter shapes deduced from the poles and zero plots, however a lot of sources are describing it differently with no logical explanation. I want to know what exactly the poles and zeros do between the range Ω = 0 and Ω = π. One source i read explains if the pole...

Homework Statement I am doing a project on the Elenco AM/FM superheterodyne radio kit. I have been stuck for ages trying to figure out how the two common emitter amplifiers are tuned to filter out anything that is not around 455 kHz. I tried to find a bandpass filter, or a high-pass and a...

Got excel spreadsheet. in my excel worksheet "4" i plot bode plot for low and high pass. Our lab experiement aim was measure two set of data and identify which one is low pass and which one is highpass filter. But as soon as I am trying to put lograitham graph it is not allow me ? I...

what is the unit step response of a high pass RC filter ? I want to calculate using transfer function approach. My solution : Y(s)/X(s) = RCs/(1+sRC) X(s)=1/s Y(s)=RC/(1+sRC) taking inverse laplace transform we should get y(t)=exp(-t/RC) But if we consider Y(s)=RC/(1+sRC) RCsY(s)...

"The simplest high pass filter is a capacitor in resistor in series, where the voltage across the capacitor is used as output." Quote wikipedia The picture of this simple high pass filter is found at: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fe/High_pass_filter.svg. I wonna get some...

I'm having a hard time visualizing what happens on the plates of the capacitor in series with a resistor in a high pass filter circuit. When the input to the capacitor is high, assuming a sine wave (say +5V) what happens on the opposite plate of the capacitor (Vout)? Should the output follow the...

I built a clock generator using a 555 and I fed the output to a high pass filter. It works for the most part, BUT the input voltage ranges from 0 to 5V while the output is -5 to 0 V. I can't figure out why this is happening. I'm new to EE, so bear with me.

You have a series circuit consisting of a ac power supply, a 1150.0 ohm resistor and a 144.0 nF capacitor. If the circuit is configured as a low pass filter, what frequency will cause the gain to be 0.25? Formula Gain = Vout / Vin = R / [R^2 + (1/ωC)^2]^1/2Solution Plugging in R=1150 ohms...

Homework Statement If the input voltage is given by Vin = Vin peak cos ωt, then the output voltage is Vout = VH*cos(ωt - δ) where VH = Vin peak/(1 + (ωRC)^(−2)) (Assume that the output is connected to a load that draws only an insignificant amount of current.) Find an expression...

Hey everyone I have recently started a circuits class, and am enjoying it. However, the high pass filters have slightly confusing me. I recently set up a circuit that was straight from a wall socket meaning that it has a frequency of ~ 60 Hz. My high-pass filter should filter out all of the...

Hello All, I have been doing some experiments where I need to make a very short pulse to switch on and off a MOSFET I am using (IRF840) but all I have as a pulse source is a small function generator which outputs square waves fixed at 50% duty cycle. So I had an idea to use a simple high...
